I have never cared one jot for the eponymous 'heroine' of this series. Yes, she had a sad childhood, blah blah. So do lots of people, they don't all turn into a colossal, self absorbed pain in the a**e (English version!) like Dicte. I only persevered with Seasons 1 & 2 because of interesting storylines and excellent supporting characters. The best of all being John Wagner, a quietly intelligent, thoughtful Police officer who acted as a very necessary counterbalance to Dicte's wearyingly repetitive demand to always get her own way, no matter who becomes collateral damage.
Imagine my dismay when in Episode 1 of Series 3, Wagner is shot and killed whilst helping to free Dicte's husband from kidnappers. Frankly, it would have been a blessing if Dicte or even Bo had been shot instead. I am not sure if Lars Brygmann, the actor who portrayed Wagner, wanted to leave the show, or if it was a decision made by the writers/producers. If the former then, fair enough. If the latter, they could not have made a worse mistake. The show is much the poorer for Wagner's absence.
